Notice that the informations obtained from the command '"E:\Program
Files\pythonxy\python\python" -c "from sys import *; print 'version=%d.%d\nplatform=%s\nprefix=%s\nexec_prefix =%s\nexecutable=%s' % (version_info[0],version_info[1],platform,prefix,exec_pref ix,executable)" 2>&1' are correct.
If you run it from the command line ?
Yes, from command line. For example: E:\PySide_dev\pyside-qt4.5+0.2>"E:/Program Files/pythonxy/python/python.exe" -c "from sys import *; print 'version=%d.%d\nplateform=%s\nprefix=%s\nexec_prefixe= %s\nexecutable=%s' % (version_info[0], version_info[1], platform, prefix, exec_p refix, executable)" version=2.5 plateform=win32 prefix=E:\Program Files\pythonxy\python exec_prefixe=E:\Program Files\pythonxy\python executable=E:\Program Files\pythonxy\python\python.exe However, notice that : E:\PySide_dev\pyside-qt4.5+0.2>DIR /-C /A:S "E:/Program Files/pythonxy/python/python.exe" Volume in drive E is DATA Volume Serial Number is E27E-E56C Directory of E:\Program Files\pythonxy\python File Not Found This path contains spaces, which is most likely the problem here.
The quotes are added by the debug output, so I guess the path is not quoted correctly. Try setting up python manually in user-config.jam with
using python : : "E:/Program Files/pythonxy" ;
Note the quotes and the forward slashes.
I tried with using python : : "E:/Program Files/pythonxy" ; and then with using python : : "E:/Program Files/pythonxy/python/python.exe" ; without any difference. I got as output notice: Loading user-config configuration file user-config.jam from C:/Documents and Settings/chore/user-config.jam . notice: [python-cfg] Configuring python... notice: [python-cfg] user-specified cmd-or-prefix: "E:/Program Files/pythonxy/ python/python.exe" notice: [python-cfg] Checking interpreter command "E:/Program Files/pythonxy/pyt hon/python.exe"... notice: [python-cfg] running command 'DIR /-C /A:S "E:\Program Files\pythonxy\py thon\python.exe" 2>&1' notice: [python-cfg] running command '"E:/Program Files/pythonxy/python/python.e xe" -c "from sys import *; print 'version=%d.%d\nplatform=%s\nprefix=%s\nexec_pr efix=%s\nexecutable=%s' % (version_info[0],version_info[1],platform,prefix,exec_ prefix,executable)" 2>&1' notice: [python-cfg] ...does not invoke a working interpreter notice: [python-cfg] No working Python interpreter found.
